the only time being an ex-hoarder has come in useful

one hundred and sixty dollars found in hard cash, pennies though dimes, stashed into purse pockets, honey pots, vodka bottles full of orange flowers crafted out of felt,

a full bottom drawer of pennies, heavy, gloating, unaccustomed to the light

two wooden boxes full of clean, white feathers and whiskey bottles all in a row, well-scrubbed, filled to the cap with sequins divided by color

i'ma buy me a bus ticket to new york city, i'ma sew together wings out of dust and must,
shine, gold and glass
